Federal Home Loan Banks Consolidated Bonds and Consolidated Discount Notes (With Maturities of One Day Or Longer) INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Federal Home Loan Banks Consolidated Bonds and Consolidated Discount Notes (with maturities of one day or longer) The terms “we,” “us” and “our” as used throughout this Information Memorandum mean the Federal Home Loan Banks (the “FHLBanks”), acting by and through the Office of Finance, a joint office of the FHLBanks (together with its successors and assigns, the “Office of Finance”). We may offer consolidated bonds (the “Bonds”) and consolidated discount notes (the “Discount Notes” and, together with the Bonds, the “Securities”) pursuant to this Information Memorandum (as defined herein) and, in the case of the Bonds, a Pricing Supplement or an Offering Notice (each, a “Supplement”) that will contain the specific terms of, and pricing details for, each particular issue (sometimes referred to as “series”) of Bonds. The Securities will constitute joint and several unsecured general obligations of the FHLBanks. No person other than the FHLBanks will have any obligations or liability with respect to the Securities. The Securities will be denominated in U.S. dollars or as may otherwise be specified by us at the time of issue in the applicable Supplement (the “Specified Currencies”). There is no specific limit on the aggregate principal amount of Securities that we may issue. The Securities will have maturities of one day or longer from the date of their original issuance. The Bonds will bear interest as set forth in the applicable Supplement. Principal payments on the Bonds may be made periodically or only at maturity. Any index or formula used to determine the principal or interest payable on the Bonds will be set forth in the applicable Supplement. The Bonds may be subject to redemption at the option of the FHLBanks or pursuant to one or more indices or formulae set forth in the applicable Supplement, and the Bonds may be subject to redemption at the option of the registered holders of the Bonds. Certain Bonds may be separated into (i) each future interest payment due on or prior to maturity or, if the Bonds are subject to redemption or principal repayment prior to maturity, the first date on which the Bonds are subject to redemption or repayment (in either case, the “Cut-off Date”) (each, an “Interest Component”) and (ii) the principal payment plus any interest payments due after the Cut-off Date (the “Principal Component”). The Securities will be purchased for resale by Dealers (as defined in this Information Memorandum) acting as principal, whether individually or in a syndicate, or placed by Dealers acting on an agency basis. The Securities may also be sold directly by us to investors to the extent permitted by applicable law or directive in the relevant jurisdiction. Additional Securities may be issued as part of an existing issue of Securities. Unless otherwise specified by us (in the applicable Supplement in the case of Bonds), the Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system. The Securities will be (i) U.S. dollar denominated Securities issued in book-entry form and cleared and settled through the book-entry system of the Federal Reserve Banks (including the Fedwire® Securities Service (or any successor thereto) of the Federal Reserve Banks) (the “Fed Book-Entry System”), or (ii) Bonds issued in definitive registered form or in global registered form and cleared and settled through the clearing systems operated by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), Euroclear Bank SA/NV, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”), Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream”) or such other or additional clearing systems as specified in the applicable Supplement. All Discount Notes will be issued on the Fed Book-Entry System. See “FORM OF THE SECURITIES” and “CLEARANCE AND SETTLEMENT.” You should read this Information Memorandum in conjunction with any applicable Supplement and with the Financial Reports (as defined in this Information Memorandum) incorporated by reference into this Information Memorandum. See “AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION AND INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE.” The Securities may not be suitable investments for all investors. The Securities are intended for purchase only by investors capable of understanding the risks associated with an investment in the Securities. You should not purchase any Securities unless you understand and are able to bear the price, market, liquidity, structure, redemption and other risks associated with an investment in the Securities. You should consult your own financial and legal advisors about the risks associated with an investment in the Securities, the appropriate tools to analyze that investment, and the suitability of that investment in your particular circumstances. See “CERTAIN INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS” beginning on page 8 for a discussion of certain risks that should be considered in connection with an investment in the Securities. The Securities are not required to be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, no registration statement with respect to the Securities has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Information Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense in the United States. THE SECURITIES ARE NOT OBLIGATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED BY THE UNITED STATES. The date of this Information Memorandum is September 30, 2019. ii References to “this Information Memorandum” mean this document, any amendments or supplements (other than Supplements) to this Information Memorandum and any documents incorporated by reference into this document, except, and to the extent, that any such document is superseded or modified by any subsequent amendment or supplement to, or document incorporated by reference into, this Information Memorandum. This Information Memorandum relates to the Securities and not to any other securities of the FHLBanks that have been or will be issued by or on behalf of the FHLBanks. This Information Memorandum may only be used for the purposes for which it has been published. Neither this Information Memorandum nor any applicable Supplement describes all the risks of an investment in Securities denominated in, or the payment of principal of or interest on which is related to the value of, a foreign currency or a currency unit, Securities with interest or principal determined by reference to one or more interest rates, exchange rates or other indices or formulae, or Securities that include redemption features, caps, floors or other rights or options. There is no assurance that a secondary market for any of the Securities will develop or that, if it develops, it will continue. Any secondary market for a particular issue of Bonds may be adversely affected by the partial redemption of that issue of Bonds or the separation of Bonds into Interest Components and Principal Components. Consequently, you may not be able to sell your Securities readily or at prices that will enable you to realize a desired return. See “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION” and “CERTAIN INVESTMENT CONSIDERATIONS.” None of the Office of Finance, any of the FHLBanks or any of the Dealers has authorized any person to give any information or to make any representation not contained in this Information Memorandum or any applicable Supplement, and any information or representation not contained in this Information Memorandum or in the applicable Supplement must not be relied on as having been authorized by or on behalf of the Office of Finance, any of the FHLBanks or any of the Dealers. The delivery of this Information Memorandum or the applicable Supplement at any time does not imply that the information contained in this Information Memorandum or the applicable Supplement, as the case may be, is correct at any time subsequent to their respective dates or, if later, the dates of the documents incorporated by reference into this Information Memorandum. Neither this Information Memorandum nor any Supplement constitutes an offer of, or an invitation by or on behalf of, the Office of Finance, the FHLBanks or the Dealers to subscribe for or purchase any of the Securities. The distribution of this Information Memorandum or any part hereof and any Supplement and the offer, sale and delivery of any of the Securities may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. Persons into whose possession this Information Memorandum or any Supplement comes are required by the Office of Finance, the FHLBanks and the Dealers to inform themselves about and to observe any such restrictions. See “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION.” Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area Neither this Information Memorandum nor any Supplement is a prospectus for the purposes of the European Union’s Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the “Prospectus Regulation”). PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS — The Securities are not intended to, and should not, be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, a “retail investor” means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (a “Qualified Investor”). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and, therefore, offering or selling the Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

  • Emu and Market Conventions: Recent Developments
    ISDA International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. EMU AND MARKET CONVENTIONS: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS 1. Introduction On 16th July, 1997, ISDA, along with a number of other trade associations, Cedel and Euroclear, published a joint statement on market conventions for the euro. That joint statement was subsequently supported by both the European Commission and the European Monetary Institute (now the European Central Bank). The joint statement was intended to focus attention on the need to establish a set of market conventions for the euro. Conventions of the type dealt with in the joint statement tend to differ between currencies, largely for historical rather than valid market reasons. It was inconceivable that the new single currency should itself suffer from the mixture of market conventions which apply to the various national currencies that it is due to replace. At the time of publication, the joint statement reflected a broad market consensus view on what standard market practice should be for new euro-denominated transactions entered into after 1st January, 1999. It also advocated that for "legacy" instruments or transactions (those entered into before 1999 in national currency units or the ECU, but maturing after 1st January, 1999) which incorporated the old national currency conventions, no change should be made to update the conventions. The purpose of this memorandum is to bring the issue of harmonised market conventions for the euro up to date in light of developments that have taken place since the publication of the joint statement over a year ago. A summary of the proposed market conventions for the euro financial markets is attached as Exhibit 1.

  • Isolating the Effect of Day-Count Conventions on the Market Value Of
    Isolating the Effect of Day-Count Conventions on the Market Value of Interest Rate Swaps Geng Deng, PhD, FRM∗ Tim Dulaney, PhDy Tim Husson, PhDz Craig McCann, PhD, CFAx Securities Litigation and Consulting Group, Inc. 3998 Fair Ridge Drive, Suite 250, Fairfax, VA 22033 April 27, 2012 Abstract Day-count conventions are a ubiquitous but often overlooked aspect of interest-bearing investments. While many market traded securities have adopted fixed or standard conven- tions, over-the-counter agreements such as interest rate swaps can and do use a wide variety of conventions, and many investors may not be aware of the effects of this choice on their future cash flows. Here, we show that the choice of day-count convention can have a sur- prisingly large effect on the market value of swap agreements. We highlight the importance of matching day-count conventions on obligations and accompanying swap agreements, and demonstrate various factors which influence the magnitude of day-count convention effects. As interest rate swaps are very common amongst municipal and other institutional investors, we urge investors to thoroughly understand these and other ‘fine print' terms in any potential agreements. In particular, we highlight the ability of financial intermediaries to effectively increase their fees substantially through their choice of day-count conventions. 1 Introduction We have different day-count conventions today for the same reason we have different driving con- ventions in the US and the UK { history. Historically some securities have had their interest pay- ments calculated using a certain convention while others have used different conventions.

  • OVER-THE-COUNTER INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES Anatoli Kuprianov
    Page 238 The information in this chapter was last updated in 1993. Since the money market evolves very rapidly, recent developments may have superseded some of the content of this chapter. Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond Richmond, Virginia 1998 Chapter 16 OVER-THE-COUNTER INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES Anatoli Kuprianov INTRODUCTION Over-the-counter (OTC) interest rate derivatives include instruments such as forward rate agreements (FRAs), interest rate swaps, caps, floors, and collars. Broadly defined, a derivative instrument is a formal agreement between two parties specifying the exchange of cash payments based on changes in the price of a specified underlying item or differences in the returns to different securities. Like exchange-traded interest rate derivatives such as interest rate futures and futures options, OTC interest rate derivatives set terms for the exchange of cash payments based on changes in market interest rates. An FRA is a forward contract that sets terms for the exchange of cash payments based on changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR); interest rate swaps provide for the exchange of payments based on differences between two different interest rates; and interest rate caps, floors, and collars are option-like agreements that require one party to make payments to the other when a stipulated interest rate, most often a specified maturity of LIBOR, moves outside of some predetermined range. The over-the-counter market differs from futures markets in a number of important respects. Whereas futures and futures options are standardized agreements that trade on organized exchanges, the over-the- counter market is an informal market consisting of dealers, or market makers, who trade price information and negotiate transactions over electronic communications networks.

  • ARRC, a User's Guide to SOFR: the Alternative Reference Rate
    A User’s Guide to SOFR The Alternative Reference Rates Committee April 2019 Executive Summary This note is intended to help explain how market participants can use SOFR in cash products. In particular, those who are able to use SOFR should not wait for forward-looking term rates in order to transition, and the note lays out a number of considerations that market participants interested in using SOFR will need to consider: Financial products either explicitly or implicitly use some kind of average of SOFR, not a single day’s reading of the rate, in determining the floating-rate payments that are to be paid or received. An average of SOFR will accurately reflect movements in interest rates over a given period of time and smooth out any idiosyncratic, day-to-day fluctuations in market rates. Issuers and lenders will face a technical choice between using a simple or a compound average of SOFR as they seek to use SOFR in cash products. In the short-term, using simple interest conventions may be easier since many systems are already set up to accommodate it. However, compounded interest would more accurately reflect the time value of money, which becomes a more important consideration as interest rates rise, and it can allow for more accurate hedging and better market functioning. Users need to determine the period of time over which the daily SOFRs are observed and averaged. An in advance structure would reference an average of SOFR observed before the current interest period begins, while an in arrears structure would reference an average of SOFR over the current interest period.
